(Demonstrate cancellation errors) A cancellation error occurs when you are manipulating a very large number with a very small number. The large number may cancel out the smaller number. For example, the result of 100000000. 0 + 0. 000000001 is equal to 100000000. 0. To avoid cancellation errors and obtain more accurate results, carefully select the order of computation. For example, in computing the following summation, you will obtain more accurate results by computing from right to left rather than from left to right:

- (Display Magic Numbers) Display the first N magic numbers, where N is a positive number that the user provides as input. Here, a magic number is a number whose sum of its digits eventually leads to 1. For example, 1234 is a magic number because 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 and 1 + 0 = 1, while 1235 is not (1 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 11 and 1 + 1 = 2). Write a program that prints out the first N magic numbers, seven on each line. Here is the sample output: You are required to use the following function prototype: bool isMagic(int value); // Returns true if value is a magic number The outline of this function will be as follows: Step 1: Calculate the sum of digits of value Step 2: Repeat Step 1 until we get a single digit Step 3: If the resulting sum is equal to 1 then it is a magic number, otherwise notarrow_forward(Display Magic Numbers) Display the first N magic numbers, where N is a positive number that the user provides as input.

Also prompt the user to enter the number of days after today for a future day and display the future day of the week.arrow_forward
- (Geometry: distance of two points) Write a program that prompts the user to enter two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and displays their distance between them. The formula for computing the distance is: Square root of ((x2 - x1) squared + (y2 - y1) squared) Note that you can use pow(a, 0.5) to compute square root of a. Sample Run Enter x1 and y1: 1.5 -3.4 Enter x2 and y2: 4 5 The distance between the two points is 8.764131445842194arrow_forward(Game: scissor, rock, paper) Write a program that plays the popular scissor–rock–paper game. Rules: A scissor can cut a paper, a rock can knock a scissor, a paper can wrap a rock. The program should randomly generates a number 0, 1, or 2 representing scissor, rock, and paper. The program should prompt the user to enter a number 0, 1, or 2 and displays a message indicating whether the user or the computer WINs, LOSEs, or DRAWs.arrow_forward[Calculate grades’ average for a student] write a program that calculates the student grades’ average for a semester for the number of courses taken in that semester. Your program should do the following: 1.Read from user the number of courses (n) 2. Then, read the courses’ grades for n times (Hint: use a loop) 3.If a grade is grater than 100 or less than 0, ask the user to enter the grade again. 4.Calculate the average of grades using the following formula: average = (sum of grades) / n 5.Print out the average grade on the screen. Note: Always use appropriate data types.arrow_forward
- Write code that iterates while userNum is less than 12. Each iteration: Put userNum to output. Then, put "/" to output. Then, assign userNum with userNum multiplied by 3.arrow_forward(Find the number of years) Write a program that prompts the user to enter the minutes (e.g., 1 billion), and displays the number of years and days for the minutes. For simplicity, assume a year has 365 days. Sample Run Enter the number of minutes: 1000000000 1000000000 minutes is approximately 1902 years and 214 daysarrow_forwardPlease Explain the Steps. (In Java Programming) See expected output below. Create a new Java application called "WeightedAvgDropSmallest" (without the quotation marks) according to the following guidelines. The program prompts the user for five to ten numbers all on one line, separated by spaces, calculates the weighted average of all those numbers except the lowest n numbers, where n and the weight are also given by the user, and displays all the numbers, the weight, the number of lowest numbers dropped, and the calculated average to the user. The program uses methods to: Get the numbers used to calculate the average. Get the number of lowest numbers to drop before calculating the average. Get the weight, a double greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1. Calculate the weighted average of the numbers (except the lowest n numbers) entered by the user. Print the results. 1. The first method should take no arguments and return an array list of doubles. 2. The second method…arrow_forward
- 1) Simple Calculator: In Python, implement a simple calculator that does the following operations: summation, subtraction, multiplication, division, sqrt, power, natural log and abs. a) Follow the instructions below: To work with the calculator, the user is asked to enter the first number, then the operation, and finally, a second number if required. Your code has to recognize the need for the second number and ask for it if required. After performing one operation, the calculator prints the output of the operation. After performing one operation, the calculator must not exit. It has to start again for the next operation. The calculator will be closed if the user writes 'e' as any input. Use functions to perform the operations and the appropriate conditions to prevent common errors such as entering characters as one of the numbers etc. b) Run your code and provide the results for at least one example per operation. - -arrow_forward(Find the two highest scores)Write a program that prompts the user to enter the number of students and each student’s name and score, and displays the name and score of the student with the highest score and the student with the second-highest score.Sample RunEnter the number of students: 5Enter a student name: SmithEnter a student score: 60Enter a student name: JonesEnter a student score: 96Enter a student name: PetersonEnter a student score: 85Enter a student name: GreenlawEnter a student score: 98Enter a student name: ZhangEnter a student score: 95Top two students:Greenlaw's score is 98.0Jones's score is 96.0arrow_forward2) A BMI Calculator: the body mass index (BMI) is a measure used to determine whether a person is overweight or not. We can calculate BMI from the weight of the person (in pounds) and the height (in inches) of the person. The formula for calculating BMI is: BMI = (weightInPounds 703) divided by (heightInInches squared) In this problem, you will have to create a BMI calculator, i.e., a Java program, that reads the user's weight in pounds and height in inches, then calculates and displays the user's body mass index BMI. Also, display the following information from the US Department of Health) so the user can evaluate his/her BMI: BMI values: Underweight: less than 18.5 Normal: between 18.5 and 24.9 Overweight: between 25 and 29.9 Obese: 30 or greaterarrow_forward
